TGIF on MBE - 90's Pop Culture Bracketology with Sam Sanders
KCRW’s signature music program — defying format since 1977.

It’s officially that time where we start previewing next year’s albums... and considering that many of us are just starting to craft our 2023 top 10 lists, it’s kinda surreal. But when the music’s as good as what Helado Negro is promising with new LP PHASOR (due Feb. 9, 2024) it’s a cognitive dissonance we’re happy to experience. Check out “LFO (Lupe Finds Oliveros)” from that record along with your from legendary DJ/producer David Holmes, and your chance at tickets for Madonna’s (!) Celebration Tour.
